Ruby reviews "Still Life" by Sarah Winman
So here’s a title my wife’s book club had on the go and I grabbed it for a quick look. Still Lifeby Sarah Winman. On the face of it I shouldn’t like this novel – Mrs R’s book club tastes seldom coincide with mine, it talks a lot about classical art and seemed to be a bit of an epic – but Mrs R said try it and so I did.
What a great read. I was captivated from start to finish. Read the entir

Nice to meet you, Ruby Barnes. Thanks for the invite.

Thanks for accepting my friendship, I'm always looking for different opinions and different books to read, I don't want to get stuck with one genre. So...I'm up for reading anything as long as its well written! Especially about my so-called home country,Cheers.
Latest giveaway - two paperback copies of The Baptist, a psychological thriller. Dark, disturbing, violent and erotic. Great reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.
Giveaway closes 21st June, enter here: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...
I'm running a Goodreads giveaway of 1 copy of Peril, a crime thriller.
Peril is the story of Gerard Mayes, an anti-hero. Men want to be him, women want to redeem him. Ger's story is fiction, but his origins are real - everyday folk living and working in a Dublin city center wracked with organised begging, drug addicts, and violent crime. It's not all leprechauns and shillelaghs in Ireland.
Ger is a slacker. A consumer. He thinks life owes him, takes what he can and goes with the flow. His perspective on life, like that of another famous slacker The Big Lebowski, is sometimes humorous, but the story takes a noir turn when Ger kills a mugger and is held to account for it. All things move toward their end, of that you can be sure.
Contains occasional strong language and peril.
You can enter the giveaway here:

Cheers
Ruby
